Long One |
They tell 'em not to feel scared |
They’re saying that the money and security’s still there |
They say we’re fighting for a prayer oh |
But now its coming no it’s coming oh I swear I swear |
But one day it will soon be here |
And when the man |
He got so tired of waiting says |
Not beaten by the way the government treats the system |
Said now you must be strong |
Says you got to carry on |
And you can be that man, that we’ve been fighting with for so long |
Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one |
Living and die its gonna be a long one son |
You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine |
You and I, its gonna be a long one son |
Oh this friend of mine, sitting on the picket line |
Wondering how he’s gonna pay his bills this time |
The company said the economy has run them dry |
But if we can all just work together |
You can work here, as long as forever |
But we gotta take your pay, straight down to minimum wage |
Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one |
Living and die its gonna be a long one son |
You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine |
You and I, its gonna be a long one son |
If you’re unemployed now, you don’t have to be ashamed somehow |
You’re just 1 in 400, 000 in a crowd |
You see me lift my hand up lift my hand up in the crowd |
Filling out applications online, thinking that you’re gonna get a job this time |
There’s only 100 of you, but only 2 jobs you got to do |
Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one |
Living and die its gonna be a long one son |
You’ve got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine |
You and I, its gonna be a long one son |
